Question 36584: The circumference of a circular pond is 840m.Betty walks at a speed of 6m/min and Natalie walks at a speed of 9m/min.If two of start from the same place but walk in opposite directions,how many minutes later will they meet? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x be the number of minutes before they meet.
Betty distance: 6x meters
Natalie distance: 9x meters
Equation:
Betty distance + Natale distance = 840
6x+9x=840
15x = 840
x = 56 minutes
